Decisions, decisions

History buffs will remember that Woodrow Wilson won his party’s nomination in 1912 after 46th ballot at the Democratic National Convention that year. This is not a post on the liklihood of this year’s Democratic Convention being so divided*.

On the (I think) 16th ballot: John Weishan with only the support of John Weishan was the lowest vote getter and will be dropped from future ballots. On the 16th Ballot: Schmitt 5, Holloway 5, Broderick 3, Coggs Jones 2, Marina D. 2, Weishan 1, Present 1.

I bet they break 46 attempts. You wonder why no opposition leader has emerged to County Executive Scott Walker, or why they were unable to oust Lee Holloway before, here’s your answer.

Update! 9:02 PMHabemas princeps! Sorry, got carried away for a minute there. According to Fraley, Holloway pulled it out on the 45th ballot. The Milwaukee County Board is still run by a violent slum lord.
